East Timor President Jose Ramos-Horta, who was critically wounded in an assassination attempt last month, has forgiven the rebel leader who led the attack, the country's interim president said yesterday.
The announcement is seen as an attempt to encourage the rebel soldiers who attacked Ramos-Horta to give themselves up, paving the way for reconciliation.
